[For every Batman, his father Thomas Wayne and his mother Martha Wayne have undoubtedly had a huge impact on his life.
In the main universe, they have the best qualities in the world. They are righteous people and moral role models. They passed their kindness to their son Bruce and finally created the Batman who never lost himself in the darkness.
But in a dark multiverse, they are not such good people...
In that universe, Bruce Wayne's parents are the leaders of the Court of Owls. They rule the entire Gotham with blood and terror. When Bruce was 8 years old, he began to kill people with the help of his butler Alfred.
His father told him: "It's okay, son, you can kill whoever you want, because you are the son of Thomas Wayne.
Therefore, from a young age, Bruce Wayne became a complete game player. He treated everyone except Thomas, Martha, and Alfred as NPCs in the game.
As he grew older, the entire Gotham City became Master Wayne's playground. In order to find more fun, he dressed himself up as a big bat and vented his chaotic emotions on the streets.
He forced people to dress up as clowns in front of him, forced them to laugh, and then stabbed them to death with his special bat darts again and again.
He even killed people for the reason of not eating beef. He believed in a truth:
The strong can do whatever they want to the weak, and in the whole of Gotham, and even in the United States, no one is more powerful than the Wayne Group. Countless criminals and super-powered villains have surrendered to the Wayne Group. The Wayne Group controls all aspects of Gotham, and radiates to the entire United States with Gotham as the center.
There was once a man named Lex Luthor who tried to rebel against the Wayne Group, but the next day his address was flooded with a large number of villains. They only took a few hours to chop off his head and put it on Thomas Wayne's desk.
Afterwards, Luthor's head was hung on the gargoyle of the Wayne Tower in Gotham, reminding everyone not to go against the Wayne family.
The Wayne Group's hegemony lasted for many years, and Master Bruce Wayne's game has been played for many years. Until one day, the powerful hegemon Destroyed by another stronger force.
A monster who called himself Superman flew from the sky. The blade of the Claw Assassin could not even cut through his skin. Those once powerful superpower criminals, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, and the Lightning Devil...
They were defeated in front of the monster called Superman. Even Thomas Wayne finally activated an Amazon woman called Diana Prince who was brainwashed and controlled by them, and an Atlantean called Arthur Curry, but he still could not defeat the devil called Superman.
When Superman walked out of the nuclear explosion, the whole world surrendered to the new overlord.
No matter what means, Superman could not be stopped. He just broke through the defenses of the superpowers around Thomas Wayne again and again. Finally, he was in a place called Crime. Alley, forcing the Waynes into desperation.
Soon, Thomas Wayne's head was hung on a gargoyle, and Martha was dragged to hang on a street lamp. Superman used her pearl necklace to hang her alive in the corner of the gutter in Crime Alley.
Another Martha lived comfortably in the luxurious room of the previous Martha and inherited all the jewelry and clothes. The entire Wayne Group was destroyed, and only Master Bruce Wayne escaped from the earth, activated the wormhole of space jump, and flew into the universe.
Therefore, from the day his parents died, Bruce finally grew up. From that day on, he never smiled again.
The program in the spacecraft that automatically searches for planets with life took him to a place called War World, which is desolate and full of savage aliens.
After seeing the strong bodies of these aliens, Bruce Wayne finally discovered that the real powerful force is not in humans themselves, but in aliens.
He realized a truth: humans have limits!
Therefore, he stopped being a human!
He stayed in the war world for several years, constantly experimenting, trying to transform himself into a real alien.
He kept failing, and no alien bloodline could be successfully transplanted into his clone, and the experiment came to a stalemate, until one day, he found an alien boy and his mother who killed the bull mammoth. They lost the protection of the tribe and were exiled to the wasteland.
Bruce used the blood of the alien boy to experiment.
He succeeded, and he gradually changed his appearance and bloodline. He was called Mongo by those alien natives. He once again experienced the joy of having powerful power to do whatever he wanted, but he could no longer laugh, no matter how bad he was...
He still loved his parents.
He returned to Earth and pretended to join Superman. After a long visit, he finally found something called kryptonite. Using this special weapon against Superman, he backstabbed the other party and then fought with Superman.
Their battle stretched across the entire Eurasian continent, causing trillions of casualties.
Superman died.
But the balance of the Eurasian plate was also destroyed by the battle between the two of them. Bruce Wayne could only helplessly watch the entire planet turn into a restless active volcanic area, or watch the continental plates sink into the sea.
But so what? The strong survive. Both his father and Superman, who destroyed his family with extreme force, taught him this truth.
So at the end of everything, Mongo drove the War World and looked at the earth that was about to be destroyed from afar, and behind him were countless earthlings who surrendered to him. They were the strong ones he selected, so they had the right to live.
That's how things should be, isn't it? 】
Chen Tao read the introduction of the War Bat at a glance, and then he soon realized something.
The War Bat can manipulate the War World, and if he is not wrong...
But he is not in the mood to think about this for the time being.
Chen Tao looked at Mongo, who had an unfinished circular icon on his chest. Although he was confident that he would not be surprised by anything, his face was still a little ugly.
Of course, of course, Mongo would not be a black lamp corpse. According to the prophecy, William Hand would be the first black lamp corpse to appear in the universe. Therefore, Chen Tao could be sure that the current Black Death Emperor was far from reaching the state of spreading death to the entire universe in the darkest night, and even almost descending on the material universe.
However, with Mongo as a carrier, the Black Death Emperor was no longer powerless against the material universe as when he had just torn open the space and peeped into the material universe in the form of a giant skeleton.
"Mongo... I really underestimated you."
Chen Tao thought.
When he saw Mongo rushing over with half of Karonna's half of the ghost blue soul mask, he immediately realized that Mongo could no longer fully control his body.
He used his body as a bargaining chip to induce Karonna to increase the stakes. Just like the stock market, Kalona has invested too much in Mongo. When he saw the Black Death Emperor, he might retreat because he didn't want to confront the Black Death Emperor. However, Mongo increased the leverage. Under the temptation of being able to bypass the Black Death Emperor and completely control Mongo, thus releasing himself directly in one step, Kalona chose to go all in and then trapped himself.
Kalona originally thought that "Mongo surrendered to me", but he never expected that he did, but not just one.
As for Chen Tao, he vaguely guessed what Mongo wanted to do, and the subsequent events indirectly proved his guess. Mongo might not be sure whether Batman was finished, but it didn't matter. This flaw behind him made no difference to him whether he sold it to Batman or Sinestro.
As long as he used his own death to attract the Black Death Emperor to balance Kalona's power, it would be a success for Mongo.
So Chen Tao followed Mongo's behavior:
For the current situation, it is not a good thing to let Kalona completely occupy Mongo's body.
Trouble is trouble. The things that Kalona did in the comics after his resurrection were no better than those of the Black Death Emperor. (The big event Green Lantern War)
It is beneficial for both Chen Tao and Mongo to prevent them from completely controlling Mongo.
In addition, there is a more important reason. He quietly opened a little space of the Red of All Living Things with his fingers, and then communicated with Killer Croc in the depths:
William Hand is ready to be summoned at any time.
Chen Tao touched his chin.
Kalona is really good at keeping himself safe. Even though Kalona knew that the Black Death Emperor might pose a threat to reality, when his immortal soul was driven into the world of the dead by his colleagues, he still saved his life by describing the material universe to the Black Death Emperor and arousing his interest in invading the material universe.
People like Kalona don't fight for anything at all.
For example, if Lantern No. 1 knew that Blackest Night was going to happen, he might be persuaded, but for a character like Caronna, he would never go all out unless his vital interests were harmed.
Therefore, we must force Caronna into a corner where he can’t retreat, and then force him to accept our conditions.
"Compared to Sinestro, your talent for manipulating fear is unparalleled. I could have killed you, Batman, but because of your previous performance, I can still give you a chance."
Not far away, Mongo was still talking nonsense. While he was talking nonsense, he carefully observed the positions of Batman and Sinestro.
Because he had just died, and the side controlled by Caronna was still alive, Mongo's heart began to beat again, and even the big hole in his chest began to heal gradually.
A normal person would be cut out of his heart if he was stabbed from behind by Chen Tao's supersonic Kryptonian hand knife, but Mongo was more than two meters tall, and his heart was about the same size as a cow's heart, so such a hole was not enough to make his limbs fly.
He tried to use words to alienate the relationship between Batman and Sinestro, but the direction of the attack quietly turned to Aqilo, who was already retreating a little.
When facing a group of wolves, of course, you should punch and kill the weakest one to prevent others from taking advantage of you, and then officially decide who is stronger.
"Damn it."
Sinestro groaned beside him.
Although his understanding of the Blackest Night basically came from Abinsu, and Abinsu's understanding of the Blackest Night came from the riddles of the Riddler of Atrocitus, so many contents were unclear and ambiguous, but no matter how stupid Sinestro was, he would not fail to recognize the death power of the Black Death Emperor.
What are you talking about? The other half of Mongo's face is almost turning into a skeleton!
He took a deep breath. He knew that it was time to talk about cooperation with Batman. He flew up quickly and turned to approach Batman:
"Batman, listen to me, Mongo——"
But before he finished speaking, he saw Mongo suddenly launched an attack.
Sinestro subconsciously created a barrier. He instinctively thought that Mongo wanted to attack him. He had to protect Batman. When facing the ultimate nightmare that was most likely to create the Blackest Night, the interests of the two of them were the same.
However, the attack turned in the air and knocked Archiro, who was watching the show, flying backwards.
Archiro was not a fool. Although such an attack was abrupt, he still tried his best to block it. Of course, he failed to block it completely, but he was only slightly injured.
Minor injury.
Then Sinestro saw Archiro being quickly eroded by the power of death, and then he turned into a corpse on the spot. His gray body turned white, his pupils became turbid, and then he stood behind Mongo with his fangs bared, making a sharp and terrifying hissing sound.
Sinestro's face became extremely ugly.
"Damn, that power of death controlled them."
Sinestro took a deep breath: "That was the Blackest Night in the prophecy!"
Then he paused, realizing that he seemed a little panicked, so he forced his voice to calm down:
"But as far as I know, the master of death wants to come to reality completely, he needs a host to spread his will, and in the prophecy, that host is an earthling, Mongo is not qualified. So the situation is okay now."
He said: "Without a host, things shouldn't get worse."
"Nonsense!"
Then he heard Batman's voice, and then with Sinestro's face full of question marks, he saw a living person being pulled out of the space door opened next to him by Batman:
"This is William Hand, the Black Death Emperor killed him, and the Blackest Night is about to begin!"
Sinestro: "Ah?"
